After fixing all my init script symlinks, this problem is gone. Thank you all so much for your help.

Some background information for others who might have my problem:

Cause:
Installing Vmware Player broke all rc script links. I guess that happened already when still running ubuntu 11.10. See here: http://communities.vmware.com/message/1846324

Solution:
For every service with broken symlink I:
- deleted it using: update-rc.d -f <servicename> remove
- searched for the related package using: dpkg -S /etc/init.d/<servicename>
- reconfigured this package using: dpkg-reconfigure <packagename>

reconfiguration ran the postinstall script and recreated the now missing symlinks with correct sequence numbers
